...

I've asked the Ohio administrators to verify whether the old Hamilton County site is still active and if so which control channel is active, and to make the necessary changes to the database to keep this from happening.

The Old Hamilton County system is still at least partially functional, since it's still moving fire MDC data as needed. It's only as final reprogramming takes place that the IPs are redirected to the new system.

TG51667

The other day I caught a glimpse of Talk Group 51667 with a RID of 900xxx on my scanner. I didn't catch any audio.

I don't see 51667 listed in the MARCS-IP database. The closest TG I find is 51662, which is the Ohio Investigative Unit.

Can anyone id or provide additional info regarding 51667?

 

[Swipesy]

Bud,

Since 51667 falls between OSP D2 Ashland 51593 and OSP D2 Mansfield 51700 I would put my money on a OSP TAC channel that is encrypted.

FYI,

the-daily-record.com (news website in East Ohio) usually has some pretty good articles on what local public safety agencies are doing, with regard to radio comms. The news stories are only available online via a subscripton though so I'm not going to bother providing links.

I did read the follow, however, that the following are on MARCS or would be soon:

Orville PD
Wooster PD
Ashland PD
Wooster FD (and perhaps other FDs in Wayne)

I also read that Holmes Co Sheriff will be switching to MARCS. They are taking advantage of a deal for radios left over from the RNC. They change radio systems more often than most people change their underwear. Holmes Co Sheriff is currently on a Connect Plus DMR system (4 sites) run by Futronics. And they just made the move to that within the past couple of years, after having been using conventional DMR repeaters on VHF prior to that.

I also read that Millersburg PD is researching the feasibility of switching to MARCS (they are lonely, with Holmes preparing to make the move to MARCS) and feeling left out, apparently.

I also read that a new MARCS tower is going to be erected in Marshallville (Wayne Co) to provide additional coverage for all of the agencies in Wayne Co that are switching over. Additionally, an article also stated that the state of Ohio would be leasing space on a tower in New Pittsburg, OH (Wayne Co) as well -- another MARCS site? So that's the possiblity of seeing two additional MARCS sites in Wayne Co.

Apparently the following will also be receiving MARCS radios (if they don't have them already -- the article was from June 2016) -- Rittman, Doylestown, Chippewa and Milton townships and the Town & Country Fire District.

In an April 2016 article, it was stated that Mount Eaton, Dalton, Creston, Marshallville, Shreve and West Salem are attempting to get grants for radios.

All of this was read on the-daily-record.com.

Mike,

Check out the video posted on Facebook by the Wayne County Sheriff's Office on September 30th. It explains what MARCS is doing in that area with towers.

Thanks, Dave. That one video confirms the Marshallville and New Pittsburg towers. I like their daily report. i liked where he talked about heroin dealers and then says "we are supposed to say alleged" but continues to call them what they are.

Sounds like they are very excited to be moving to MARCS.

Adena Hospital Pike County

I noticed an additional talk group added in the P25 section for the Pike Adena Hospital in Pike County, OH. I added it a few days ago but had been hearing nothing. This morning the Department of Health fired up on the talk id and was conducting a " Monthly Radio TEST" with the Hospital. However, no one with the hospital answered his call.

Are the Ohio DRC talkgroups being restructured? I see some are in the state DRC section and some are in the individual county sections.

Yes, they're being moved to the counties in which they reside. Since they're limited to a specific geographic area, this works better than the one massive category we have been using.

The Old Hamilton County system is still at least partially functional, since it's still moving fire MDC data as needed. It's only as final reprogramming takes place that the IPs are redirected to the new system.

Is the old system being used for any voice communications at all? If not, I'm going have it moved to the wiki and the database entry deprecated; we're still getting some complaints about people's scanners locking onto the old system, but if it's not being used for voice communications any longer there's no point in leaving it active in the database.

Great Idea. I have been adding them to my FLs that way. It makes it easier when using a DB based scanner, Thanks.

I doubt it. When our radios were reprogrammed the last time, all the old Talkgroups were removed and the MARCS statewide interop talkgroups added in.

I have set the system to "deprecated" status. Hopefully that will eliminate the programming problems.
